Shabab-ologies: Researching Arab Mediterranean Youth
Through the interdisciplinary empiricism of the SAHWA project, we aspire to build a complex description and analysis of Arab Mediterranean youth, looking for the historical and social reasons for their situation, as well as remarking on the relational character of the juvenile worlds that are actively constructed by young people in the Arab Mediterranean countries.The aim is to understand these young people, not as a continuous and ahistorical social group, but as one that is dynamic and discontinuous, in which its members are a heterogeneous category that is diachronically and synchronically constructed by themselves. Over the coming months, we will discuss new directions for research, based on what we encounter in our navigation, our reflections and our workshop discussions.
